Thinking of you

It's Sunday again! Wow do the weeks seem to be flying by. We are having a dark,dreary and cold few days her in the Northeast. That is why my picture is not great for this card. IRL this is alot brighter.

Today's Stempeltraume challenge is Flowers and Yellow. I used this digi by Paper Ink Color. I loved this image. You can't see it in the picture but I popped up the wings of the butterfly. I really like this card. It is so bright and airy. I wish our weather here would take the hint.

The other wonderful challenges my card fits are:

I love Digi - Sketch - I was so happy to see this sketch. I knew It would accent this image perfectly

S2G - Inspiration - I choose the Blue, Yellow, Green from the colors and the flowers on the bike as my inspiration.

Cute Card Thursday -Touchy Feely/Texture - I really don't like plain CS so I embossed the yellow, put glitter on the flowers and popped up the butterfly wings to give my card texture.

ABC - S is for Sparkle - I love glitter! I especially love to put it on flowers and butterflies as I did on this card.

Little Red Wagon - Dry Embossing - Remember the days when you needed to spend time tracing all the images with a stencil and tool. I love my embossing folders!!

Other Lovlies - Embellishments - I don't know if I can make a card without embelleshments! This card has brads, flowers and ribbon

For Fun - Just Because - I could think of so many sayings to use for this card but settled on Thinking of You because the yellow made me want to brighten someones day.

Stamp Something - Layers - I love layers. I can't remember the last time I made a card without layers.

Totally Papercrafts - Spring - This card reminds me that Spring is coming, even thought it isn't there yet.

Res-Q - Pastels and use an image that makes you smile- This image does make me smile and I couldn't imagine making it in colors other than pastels.


Thanks for stopping by and looking at my card. Thank you to everyone who leaves me a message. I love reading all the comments.

OH MY!! Don't you love this saying! My sister, Mary, told me about this great website called Create with TLC which has wonderful sayings. Many of them are free, this being one of them. I knew the moment I saw this that I had to color this Greeting Farm image.

I had problems matching papers with the colors I chose for her dress. I hate when I can't find the right papers for my copic colors but I loved the way this image came out. I wanted dust to be coming from her duster so I put some stickles on it. I don't know about you but my duster always has glitter on it from my card making.

The challenges this fits are:

Papertake - Cutie Pie - IMHO I think this really cute!!

My Time to Craft -Pretty Pearls - what card doesn't look good with pearls?

Magical Crafts - Animal Antics - I love this little bunny!!

One Stitch at a Time - Distressing - I don't know if it shows up on your computer but I inked the edges and roughed up the bottom CS of the image saying and side/bottom pieces.

All Sorts - Petals and Pearls - In addition to Pearls I would put flowers on every card I make if I could.

C.R.A.F.T. - Buttons - Again, love the buttons on this card.

Roses on Paper - Layers - I don't know if I could make a card without layers.

Crafty Angels - My Favorite Things - Cute images, flowers and pearls! I love all of these on this card!

Handful of Stamps - Digi it!! I do love my digi's. Buy them, use them!!

Paper Cutz - 3 Pattern Papers - I love DP and I love when multiple fits on a card.

April Showers

Good Morning. How is everyone today? It's cool in the Northeast these days. I guess that is normal for this time of year but I could use it a few degrees warmer.

Today is the Going Grey with Scrap Creations challenge. This weeks theme is April Showers. I couldn't wait for this theme. I love images with umbrellas. I chose this stamp from High Hopes to make my card. I think this Ant is so cute. This is an easy challenge for everyone. April Showers can bring May Flowers so you can do flowers or garden. C'mon and join the fun!!

The DT's did some an amazing job this week. You need to check them out.

The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:

Stamptacular - Spots & Dots -I love my white pen. I thought the umbrella needed something so I added dots. I wanted the boots to match so I added there also.

The Corrosive - Texture - I added crystal effects to the raindrops, puddle, umbrella and flowers to look wet.

Crafty Catz - Sketch. The great thing about this sketch was that I could easily turn it upside down so my saying was at the top of the card.

Challenge up your life - April weather - It always rains in April here in the Northeast.

Res Q - This was a neat theme. There is a word puzzle with the hints. I choose Blue, Pink, Rain.

For Fun - April Showers - How can you make it through April without this theme.

Ooh La La - April Showers - Perfect these days for the Northeast

Tallen's Place - It's all about you! I'm looking outside and it looks like it is going to rain any time now so that's about me today!

Something Completely Different - The letter B - Boots, Blue, and Brads on my card

The Crazy Challenge - Don't call me flat - I love popping things up and this card is no different. I popped the image, flowers and saying.

Welcome

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a good Easter. I spent time with family. The weather was beautiful so all in all it was a nice day.

Today is the Going Grey with Scrap-Creations challenge. Today's theme is Sew Cute. All you need to do is make a card with a cute image and use Basic Grey paper! Today there is an added incentive to play. Sew Many Cards is sponsoring the challenge!! You could win 5 free images of your choice from Sew Many Cards! They were kind enough to give the DT's an image to show you. This is the one I picked. She is called Tayla in the tree. Isn't she cute. Please check out the other DT's to see the wonderful job they did with their images.

KL Stamping - Recipie - 1 Image, 2 DP's, 3 Embelleshments - This was fun. I used the Sew Many stamp, 2 Basic Grey papers, and 3 flowers.

Hopes Stamp Eternal - Inspiration - When I finished my card I thought this wouldn't fit any color challenges then I say the image at Hopes. I just laughed. You have to look closely to see some of the colors but they are there.

My Time to Craft - New Baby - The first time I saw this image I thought wouldn't that make a cute baby card but didn't have any need to make one so I didn't buy it. When offered the free image I thought that this would be too cute to pass up.

Magical Crafts - Animal antics - Again Great theme!! I love coloring Tayla.

Simple Doodles - Layers - I love layers so this was no problem for me!!

The Greeting Farm Contest

Spring is Here!!

Happy Easter everyone. I hope everyone has a good day. It is suppose to be a great day here. It is going to be in the mid 70's. I only shut off my heat a few days ago because it was so cold here. I can't believe how beautiful it is now.

Today's theme for the Stempeltraume is Just Girls. I have so many girl stamps so I loved this theme. If you like challenges you need to check this out. The other DT's do great work, their themes are fun and you could win some great prizes! I picked this image from Sugar Nellie because it had never seen ink. Every time I tried to buy it last year it was out of stock. When I placed an order this winter I saw that they had it so I had to buy it. I used Tim Holtz new paper on this card! I wish you could see it better. I absolutely love it. It is all double sided, comes in different sizes and colors. I think this paper will fit well with so many of my stamps.

The other challenges this card fits are:

Annabelles - Say it with flowers. I love this daisy and the way this little lady looks like she is giving it to someone.

Daring Card Makers - Diamonds - The sparkly rain drops are actually fingernail art I bought in the $1 bin at JoAnns. I thought they would make great raindrops or tears.
The shiny flower is from CTMH that I have had in my stash for a while.

Fab & Funky - Spring is in the Air - I am happy now that the weather is nice enough for me to open my windows and enjoy the weather!

For Fun - Anything Goes - I love these themes!!

Little Red Wagon - Rolling into Spring - What says spring better than flowers and bare feet!

Crafty Creations - Anything Goes - These themes are great because I can use anything I want and fit the theme!

ABC - R is for Red - The paper I used is called Rose Red from SU.

Everybody Art - Spring - Love the sunshine and nice weather and love to make my spring cards!

Truly Scrumptious - Sketch - I loved this sketch. I knew I had to find a way to use it. The optional theme was fly away but I thought adding more to this card would be too much.

Stamptacular - Just for girls! I wouldn't say gardening is just for girls but I think this card with the girl picking the daisy is!

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my art! Thank you to everyone who leaves a comment. I love reading them. It's nice to know people like what I love creating.
